An Irish jihadi has died in a suicide bomb attack in Mosul, according to claims by the Islamic State.

Abu Usama Al-Irlandi, better known as Khalid Kelly, was reportedly killed during fighting for Iraq's second largest city.

ISIS twitter accounts and reports from Iraq suggest that he died in the name of the Islamic State.

Al-Jazirah, an ISIS outlet, and several known ISIS twitter accounts posted a picture of Kelly posing in front of the VBIED (vehicle-borne improvised explosive device) he allegedly used to attack Iraqi state forces as they moved through the ISIS-held desert territory in the Niniveh Governorate.
